JNS/New York: India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been awarded the Global Goalkeeper Award in America. The award for the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ has been given to PM Modi by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in New York. On receiving the award, PM Modi said that this honour is not mine but those crores of Indians who have not only proved the resolve of Swachh Bharat but have also molded it in their everyday life. PM Modi said that giving me this award on the 150 birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi is also very important for me personally. This is a proof that if the manpower of 130 crore people gets involved in fulfilling any one resolution, then any challenge can be won.
PM Modi said that when things are done with a goal, a commitment to their work, then such things do not matter. I dedicate this honor to the Indians who transformed the Swachh Bharat Mission into a mass movement, who started making cleanliness a top priority in their daily lives.
